Malvern railway station is located on the Pakenham, Cranbourne and Frankston lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Malvern, and it opened on 7 May 1879.[2]

The station, like the suburb itself, was named after the Malvern Hill Estate. The housing lots within the estate were sold by barrister Charles Skinner in 1856, who named the estate after the Malvern Hills in Herefordshire, England.[3]

The station was rebuilt in 1914, as part of quadruplication and re-grading of the track between South Yarra and Caulfield. It is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[4]

The former electrified goods sidings were removed in 1988.[5]

In 1993, major re-signalling works occurred between Toorak, Armadale, Malvern and Caulfield stations.[2]
